How Do You Organize the Files on Your Computer?

Mine is a complete mess. There are so many on my Desktop that icons are going off the page. I really need to get organized.

I already know a lot of people are going to say they don't organize their computers.

So, how do you organize yours?

Re: How Do You Organize the Files on Your Computer?

I eventually delete stuff I don't need or move it into a folder.

Re: How Do You Organize the Files on Your Computer?

My desktop has one file called Desktop. I keep stuff which I would put on my desktop in there. Documents go in the documents file. Images in the pictures folder.

Re: How Do You Organize the Files on Your Computer?

I, for one, actually do organize my PC's desktop  tongue

I use Stardock Fences to keep my folders, stray files, and important applications "fenced away" to keep them from cluttering my desktop. And DropIt is also useful; drop a file onto the icon, and it whisks it away to a more organized spot.

As for Mac, I just use stacks and spaces. No need to clutter my desktop.

Re: How Do You Organize the Files on Your Computer?

I use fences, but other than that, I just put files in random spots. Why do I do that?

My downloads folder is huuuuuge.




Ok yes, I am organized a little bit.

Re: How Do You Organize the Files on Your Computer?

I'm VERY organised. I only have one folder on my desktop, but inside that there's hundreds! (Including sub-sub-folders  tongue )
And I've almost used up the 220gb, because I don't like to delete stuff, even if I'm sure I'll never need them again. So my computer's full of homework that I did three years ago.
Basically, the first thing you think is "Oh, what a wonderfully tidy laptop!" and then when you open the folder it's more like "My God, what have I done?!"

Re: How Do You Organize the Files on Your Computer?

Wait until your harddrive dies ----> zero files to sort!

I find its difficult to separate the ever growing less important from the awesome files!

Sorting by genre and date is the way i try to keep up.
Spacesniffer by uderzo.it is great to sort by size.

Please write about your favorite tools...

You mean people actually put files in certain places?

All mine go into a partition or downloads folder.

Re: How Do You Organize the Files on Your Computer?

I'm actually rather organized.  I have one folder for scratch stuff, one for school, one for my websites, one for my videos, one for boy scouts.........and one that I keep my files-only copies of Scratch, mods, and my mod.

Re: How Do You Organize the Files on Your Computer?

I'm extremely organized. My desk is not.
Anyone in the world could come on my computer (that reads English) and be able to locate something.
